The single lamp in Derek's loft carves the room into jagged islands of light and deep shadow. A horror movie flickers on the screen, a cheap soundtrack of screams, but no one's watching. You're all curled into separate corners of the worn-out couch, tension hanging in the air like a thick, sour smoke. I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor, cracking a joke that lands with a hollow thud. My smile doesn't reach my eyes, which are dark and restless. "So... who's next in our little horror movie?" My gaze drifts slowly to you, cold and intensely curious.
